Mr~ .. von Hesse says tht~t she received a recent let teto from tf.rM . noosevelt In whioh were enclosed several photoert:sphs or son~& of' the t h 1ngs she i s ···ll'1t1ng about . In my l etter to Mrs . lloosevelt of June 29th , I said vtith r e rerence to these photog r uph• :

"Mr . Uay of Hn·rr1 o & Ewiug; . presents these t o you , without charge . I t they ur e tul'ne:d over to son e­one el s e , a charge. of $1. 50 oeoh will .be rrl!de by fla'r·r i o &:. E'11ing , " oto .

I do not t hink. it is quite f a ir to Harrts &. Ewt ns to let Mr s . von Hess e utte the photoer tt.J.Iha I sdnt to ~.'rs . Roosevelt . Harrl!:l &. Ewing offered lio ,eive a 5~ roducti on , if Mra .

Hur1·is &:. Ewine, wer e wl llilll!! to make them a t the 5~ reduced cost .

In t he lisl. Mr. Crim received today from Mrs . von Hesse, she esk.s for a picture wb ioh hithert o bas not been all owed to be ei t}\e r llhotoer.h~had or publ t shet1 . Other ~oH1 t. Pl'~ and masazinea and news agencies havo e.skod tor t his pteture , without success. I wonder, therefore , if it is J.ir !f . Roosevelt ' s wish that an exception be made. in the oase or Mr s . von Hesse .

The p i cture calls f'or....,.. the Rose suite showing the bed where Queen Elizabeth slept .

I seo uo objection t.o tho other photof(ruphs requ~sted by UTa . von Hesse in the l ist she has just sent t 'r. Cr11!1.
